[Spinal cord stimulation in refractory complex regional pain syndrome. A prospective study].
Article in Revista de neurologia, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND
aimsThe objective of treatment of complex regional pain syndrome is to relieve pain and restore function in the affected limb. The aim of this study is to evaluate spinal cord stimulation as a therapy for patients diagnosed with complex regional pain syndrome, for whom adequate pain control could not be achieved with other previous treatments. PATIENTS AND
methodsA prospective study was conducted from 2018 to 2020. We included patients diagnosed with complex regional pain syndrome refractory to other treatments or techniques, classified by demographic data. Efficacy, functionality and opioid dependence in each patient were subsequently monitored for one year.
resultsSeven of the 13 patients (53.84%) included in the study achieved significant pain relief with spinal cord stimulation. Improvements in pain and functionality were obtained, and both were statistically significant (p < 0.001 and p = 0.003, respectively). Improvement in the Oswestry Disability Index/Neck Disability Index (ODI/NDI) was significantly associated with body mass index (BMI) (p = 0.011) and was lower as BMI increased.
conclusionsThe results suggest that spinal cord stimulation is an effective therapeutic option for patients with CRPS refractory to other treatments. BMI and ODI/NDI also showed a significant correlation.
